I, just like all of you, hunkered down and allowed
the bully of the winter, also known as February, to brandish every thug-like
trick it had up its frozen little sleeves...while suffering in silence. Knowing
what comes next tends to make it bearable to suffer the slings and arrows of
this little bully that lies in wait for us each year on the calendar...spring
just can't be far away. C'mon March--come to our rescue.
And now for the
present...we, the battle-scarred and worn, finally saw off the little rascal of
the winter as February stomped off into the sunset. And, we all sighed with
happy hearts, here comes March! Lovely March, the month of feeling the first
true warmth from the sun, the warming breezes of spring, the first signs of
plants emerging back to life.
But, wait...March?
What's going on?
MORE ice?? MORE
snow?? MORE frigid temperatures? There's only one explanation...February!!
Bad habits have
obviously been taught by that little imp...and poor 'ol March didn't see it
coming.
Please redeem
yourself, dear March...and please make it soon. We all still want to love you
as the turning point in our cold, dark, frozen little existences. Please
re-think your choice to follow a bad example. Please choose to emulate your
other next door neighbor, April, over that little fuss-budget February.
C'mon March...we're
waiting...
